Nihal Arthanayake curates a selection of the best bits of audio across the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.

This week, we revisit the first COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020 and how it’s continuing to impact the children who grew up through it – as well as hear a fresh take on that famous Beckett tragicomedy whilst thinking about hands, face, (and) space. As two astronauts are returned safe to Earth from an unplanned nine months on board the International Space Station, Witness History tells the story of the unspoken speech written for the first men on the moon, should they have never made it home. Plus, jazz legend Herbie Hancock muses on playing music, and hating practice - and a controversial question - Bradford might be the UK City of Culture currently, but is it the UK's curry capital?
